linux-toradex.git/kernel/static_call.c, branch v5.11-rc3 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules static_call: Fix return type of static_call_init 2020-10-02T19:18:25+00:00 Nathan Chancellor natechancellor@gmail.com 2020-09-28T23:09:39+00:00 69e0ad37c9f32d5aa1beb02aab4ec0cd055be013 Functions that are passed to early_initcall should be of type initcall_t, which expects a return type of int. This is not currently an error but a patch in the Clang LTO series could change that in the future.

static_call: Allow early init 2020-09-01T07:58:06+00:00 Peter Zijlstra peterz@infradead.org 2020-08-18T13:57:51+00:00 a945c8345ec0decb2f1a7f19a8c5e60bcb1dd1eb In order to use static_call() to wire up x86_pmu, we need to initialize earlier, specifically before memory allocation works; copy some of the tricks from jump_label to enable this. Primarily we overload key->next to store a sites pointer when there are no modules, this avoids having to use kmalloc() to initialize the sites and allows us to run much earlier.
